Accurately interpreting and recording animal behaviour is key to gaining a stronger understanding of species-level conservation issues. And capturing animal behaviour in art enables us to gain a new level of insight and understanding into their worlds. We used to think nature was red in tooth and claw. Yet we now know it has its moments of tenderness, joy, companionship, and family, as well as drama and strife. And we know many species can express themselves with stunning individuality and character. The Animal Behaviour Category is a window into the wild world and the challenges it faces – from the rawest needs to feed and mate, to intricate interactions that reflect intelligence and emotion.
